Hackspettens hjärna är upphängd i trådar vilket gör den unik i fågelsläktet så tillvida att den saknar förbindelse mellan kropp och medvetande.
Älskade författaren John Ajvide Lindqvist går från skräck till skratt. Med hjälp av pseudovetenskap, fejkornitologi och vardagsfilosofi väver han fria fantasier kring våra vanligaste fåglar, med absurd humor som resultat. Texterna är vackert illustrerade med akvareller av Mia Ajvide.
Här berättas varför danska är det språk som korpar har lättast för att imitera, hur många svalor som krävs för att tillverka en sommar och vad som hänt med SOG, Stora Ornitologiska Genusutredningen. Den perfekta presenten till den som tror sig veta allt.
"Texterna i Alternativa fakta om fåglar, skrivna av John Ajvide Lindqvist, är både lekfulla, intelligenta och ibland nästan trovärdiga. (...) det är ett sant nöje att läsa alla de korta berättelserna i den här roliga, komprimerade boken där varje omskriven fågels egenheter illustrerats av Mia Ajvide. En rolig, mycket givande läsupplevelse i det korta formatet." BTJ, Elisabeth Brännström
"Det är fyndigt, lättsamt och inte så lite skruvat, när vi får veta hur skator uppstod, varför vi aldrig ser strutsarna omkring oss och hur drömmen om tusenfinkar har fått en hel sekt att sitta i träd och gallskrika, iförda märkliga hattar." Norrtelje Tidning
"Framställningen är på det hela taget saklig, intim och lite rart omständlig, som i någon av fågelkännaren Erik Rosenbergs fälthandböcker från 1900-talets första hälft. Innehållet, däremot, är rena pippin. (...) och ofta nog flöjtar den sig upp till smått geniala höjder." Aftonbladet, Petter Lindgren

"en fantastisk bok om höns med mycket värdefull kunskap för alla, inte bara specifikt för hönsintresserade...Världens vanligaste fågel är en bok som alla borde läsa." BTJ
Det finns tre gånger fler höns än människor på jorden. De är därmed världens överlägset vanligaste fåglar. Trots det, och trots att nästan alla människor äter deras ägg och deras avkommor, är det få som lärt känna de fantastiska varelserna bakom maten. Deras värld är rikare än vår, med färger, ljud och dofter vi inte kan uppfatta. De har ett av fågelvärldens mest omfattande och nyanserade språk, med mängder av läten för olika situationer. Sprungna ur Sydostasiens djungelhöns är det en av få fåglar som lever i stabila, samarbetande sociala grupper. Och de är mycket smartare än deras rykte gör gällande. Samtidigt behandlas de som fabriksprodukter i de gigantiska ägg- och kycklingfabrikerna runtom i världen.I Världens vanligaste fågel ger Per Jensen en levande och kärleksfull beskrivning av hönsens okända sidor.

Ejdern – berättelsen om en skärgårdsfågel handlar om livsförutsättningarna för och den katastrofala minskningen av norra Östersjöns mest älskade skärgårdsfågel. Vad är en ejder, hur lever den? Varför lever ejdern som den gör? Varför har den alltid varit betydelsefull för skärgårdsfolk? Vad är det som gör denna fågel så fascinerande, men också utsatt?
Zoologen och forskaren Mikael Kilpi har vigt en stor del av sitt liv åt att studera ejdern. Med fokus på den finländska skärgården, men med ett flertal utblickar mot Sverige och världen, tar Kilpi läsaren på en resa som börjar då Östersjön, som vi känner den nu, just hade blivit till. Genom boken tar vi oss genom ett flertal frågor, svar och nya frågor fram till dagens läge, resans slutfas, där ejderns fortlevnad är hotad. Hur kommer det sig att ejdern inte längre är en självklar del av vår skärgård?
Mottagare av Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finlands pris år 2026 ur Ingrid, Margit och Henrik Höijers donationsfond II med motiveringen: Boken handlar om en trollbindande och ikonisk fågel som i tusentals år har präglat Östersjöns skärgård. Trettio år av forskning kombineras med personliga iakttagelser, erfarenheter och reflektioner. Kilpi förklarar sin djupa kärlek till denna art men uttrycker också befogad sorg över människans kortsiktiga agerande, som hotar även ejdern.

Boken innehåller fristående och underhållande berättelser om författarnas egna papegojor i olika storlekar. Boken tar upp några av de problem och frågeställningar man kan stöta på, till exempel när man skall köpa papegoja, olika beteendeproblem hos stora och små papegojor och när man tar hand om en andrahandspapegoja. Författarna som har undulater, nymfkakaduor och amasonpapegojor som tamfåglar sedan många år tillbaka, har fåglarnas beteende och samspelet med människor som största intresse. Bokens syfte är att vara till hjälp för både nyblivna och mer erfarna fågelägare och att bidra till en bättre relation mellan människa och fågel. Boken ger även en del råd och tips om skötsel som författarna tycker är viktiga att känna till som fågelägare. Boken är rikt illustrerad med drygt 170 vackra färgfoton i anslutning till texten. Författarna till denna bok har under de senaste åren publicerat flera artiklar om undulater, nymfkakaduor och amasonpapegojor i flera ledande internationella fågeltidningar som exempelvis Parrots Magazine och Australian BirdKeeper Magazine. Dessa artiklar har kunnat läsas av fågelintresserade människor i cirka 60 olika länder runt om i hela världen.

I boken berättar författarna om hur undulaten är som sällskapsfågel. Författarna ger tips på hur man bäst tämjer en undulat och vad man skall tänka på för att undulaten skall trivas och kunna utvecklas till den lilla färggranna personlighet som författarna tycker att den är. Boken innehåller även råd om mat och övrig skötsel. Ett kapitel har författarna ägnat åt häckning med undulater, där författarna med hjälp av text och bilder beskriver utvecklingen från ägg till flygfärdig unge och ger tips på hur man kan få en lyckad häckning med sina undulater i hemmiljö. Författarna hoppas att boken skall vara till glädje för både nyblivna och mer erfarna undulatägare och att den skall kunna bidra till att läsaren får en inblick i undulaternas spännande värld. Boken är rikt illustrerad med drygt 230 vackra färgfoton. Vissa av fotografierna i avsnittet om häckning är enligt författarnas uppfattning helt unika. Författarna har lagt ner drygt 2000 timmar på att skriva boken och de har gått igenom drygt 50 000 foton för att välja ut de drygt 230 foton som illustrerar boken.

'Packed with insight and anecdote, his story brings the Tower ravens to vivid life, each bird with a personality of its own. I've been fortunate enough to tour the Tower and meet the ravens a few times in years past; after reading this book, I cannot wait to go back' George R. R. Martin For centuries, the Tower of London has been home to a group of famous avian residents: the ravens. Each year they are seen by millions of visitors, and they have become as integral a part of the Tower as its ancient stones themselves. But their role is even more important than that – legend has it that if the ravens should ever leave, the Tower will crumble into dust, and great harm will befall the kingdom.One man is personally responsible for ensuring that such a disaster never comes to pass – the Ravenmaster. The current holder of the position is Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, and in this fascinating, entertaining and touching book he memorably describes the ravens’ formidable intelligence, their idiosyncrasies and their occasionally wicked sense of humour.Over the years in which he has cared for the physical and mental well-being of these remarkable birds, Christopher Skaife has come to know them like no one else. They are not the easiest of charges – as he reveals, they are much given to mischief, and their escapades have often led him into unlikely, and sometimes even undignified, situations.Now, in the first intimate behind-the-scenes account of life with the ravens of the Tower, the Ravenmaster himself shares the folklore, history and superstitions surrounding both the birds and their home. The result is a compelling, inspiring and irreverent story that will delight and surprise anyone with an interest in British history or animal behaviour.

Britain’s gardens are a vast, living landscape and the home to hundreds of species of birds. Learn to pay attention to these visitors to your own garden or local park and you’ll have a front-row seat to the unfolding drama that is the garden bird’s year. As dawn breaks across your back garden, if you were paying attention, you would notice that the robin and the blackbird are always the first birds to arrive. These ground hunters have large eyes, so don’t mind the dim light of the early morning. And that’s just the beginning of what you can learn watching your own back garden. Ornithologist Mike Toms has spent a year avidly observing his own garden, and the result is a comprehensive picture of the lives of garden birds.From the crowded yet quiet January garden populated by migratory fieldfares and bramblings, to the riotous gardens of spring, filled with songbirds competing for mates, the garden ecosystem changes throughout the year. Learn to spot these changes, to greet the arrival of the swifts in May and the new crop of fledgling goldfinches and blackbirds in June, and you’ll find a new world opening up to you.A Garden Bird’s Year is the perfect introduction to this world. Supremely readable, it explains biology and behaviour to paint a picture of the lives of common bird species, while also offering practical information for watching and feeding the birds in your own backyard. Toms details birds’ preferences for particular plants, seeds and feeders, so you can learn to attract different species to your own garden. He also charts fascinating recent adaptations – urban birds sleep later than their rural counterparts, probably because cities are on average a few degrees warmer, and they sing either earlier or later, to avoid competing with local traffic; and the balance of migratory birds to Britain is being affected by the world’s changing climate. Many species of garden birds are threatened, but there is much that each one of us can do to support them, to attract them, and to help them thrive through the year.

‘Share[s] the life-enhancing joys of the humble hen’ Sunday Times‘Clocks our obsession with chicken-keeping … Brilliant’ New York Magazine An immersive blend of chicken-keeping memoir and animal welfare reporting by a journalist who accidentally became obsessed with her flock. Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office.From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 60 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient.

This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn’t just help us to understand chickens better – it also casts light back on ourselves and what we’ve ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich’s own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

In Birds and Us, award-winning writer and ornithologist Tim Birkhead takes us on an epic and dazzling journey through this mutual history with birds, from the ibises mummified and deified by Ancient Egyptians to Renaissance experiments on woodpecker anatomy, from Victorian obsessions with egg collecting to the present fight to save endangered species and restore their habitats.Weaving in stories from his own life as a scientist, including far-flung expeditions to wondrous Neolithic caves in Spain and the bustling guillemot colonies of the Faroe Islands, this rich and fascinating book is the culmination of a lifetime's research and unforgettably shows how birds shaped us, and how we have shaped them.'Birds and Us wings its way through 12,000 years of our species' engagement with the avian world. Birkhead tells it all with delightful gusto, plaiting personal encounters with challenging historical research and bewitching scientific rigor' Tim Dee'Thought-provoking at every turn, this inspiring, shocking, wonder-filled exploration of our relationship with birds from earliest times delivers a sobering challenge to us living with birds today' Isabella Tree, author of Wilding'A fascinating book about the close and often surprising relationship between birds and people, written by one of our leading ornithologists' Stephen Moss

In the 1980s, numerous scientific surveys documented both declining bird populations, especially among Neotropical songbirds that winter in the tropics, and the loss of tropical rain forest habitat. Drawing the seemingly obvious conclusion, scientists and environmental activists linked songbird declines to loss of tropical habitats and alerted the world to an impending ecological catastrophe. Their warnings led to the establishment of the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Program, also known as Partners in Flight, the self-proclaimed largest conservation effort in history.Looking back over more than a decade of efforts to save migrant birds, John Faaborg offers the first serious evaluation of the state of songbird populations today, the effectiveness of conservation programs such as Partners in Flight, and the reliability and completeness of scientific research on migrant birds. Taking neither an alarmist nor a complacent approach, he shows that many factors besides habitat loss affect bird populations and that Neotropical migrants as a group are not declining dramatically, though some species adapt to habitat alteration more successfully than others. Faaborg's state-of-the-art survey thus clarifies the kinds of information we will need and the conservation efforts we should undertake to ensure the long-term survival of Neotropical migrant birds.

2022 Independent Publisher Book Award for Animals/Pets (Gold)"Chickens are a lot more mainstream than veganism and a little bit like kombucha: super weird twenty years ago, now somewhat popular and made even more so by logos, brands, and hashtags." So begins Gina Warren's deep dive into the backyard chicken movement. Digging into its history and food politics, she provides a highly personal account of the movement's social and cultural motivations, the regulations it faces, and the ways that chicken owners build community. Weaving together interviews with urban agriculture advocates, entrepreneurs such as a $225 per hour "chicken consultant," animal rights campaigners, and a fabulous cross-section of chicken enthusiasts, Warren sheds light on Americans' complex relationship with animals—as guardians, companions, and eaters—and what it means to be a conscious eater.As Warren chronicles her own misadventures raising chickens, her pursuit of what's best for her own flock leads past chicken tutus and gourmet chicken treats and into serious attempts at sustainable eating, such as cooking insects and dumpster diving. The result is a fresh and charming story that speaks to backyard chicken owners, while also raising questions about sustainable farming, industrial agriculture, and our connections with the animals we love.

'An outstanding new book that looks at how birds have been a major inspiration for contemporary artists over the years' Professional Photo A thought-provoking overview of contemporary bird photography, featuring the work of more than 50 internationally recognized photographers in an enthralling odyssey that both captures the splendour of birds and highlights the complex relationship between humans and animals Photographs of birds feature rarely in the early decades of photography: birds were too fast to be captured in flight, and could not be depicted in colour, issues that took many years to rectify. Today, however, with superb technical means at their disposal, photographers have taken to the subject with great enthusiasm, inspired by our ever-increasing understanding and appreciation of avian complexity. Aviary features the work of more than fifty internationally recognized photographers who explore our relationship with birds, questioning how we observe them and respond to their presence – and vice versa. Taking an eclectic curatorial approach, Danaé Panchaud and William A. Ewing weave together photography from the diverse fields of art, documentary, fashion, portraiture, ornithology and wildlife photography, proposing intriguing new dialogues and visual theatre between these different modes of photographic expression. Rather than being organized by field of study or species, Aviary surveys the symbiotic relationship between animals and humans through six thematic chapters imagined as ‘acts’ in a theatrical pageant. Both a visual celebration of the wonders of nature and a stark reminder of its fragility, Aviary presents a compelling portrait of our relationship with birds through the work of contemporary photographers such as Leila Jeffreys, Sarah Moon, Roger Ballen, Charles Fréger, Vik Muniz, Tim Flach, Viviane Sassen, Robert Clark and Nadav Kander, among many others.
